Peter, thank you for the information you have shared it is so insightful.?
It was Andrew Leatham that I had in mind as I asked the question of the benefit of increasing STRs from Y67 to Y111. At Y67 my brother is a 3 match to him, my cousin a 1step match. But when I moved my brother to Y111 he became an 8step match to Andrew. ?As a result I discounted him as related. HOWEVER... This IS where my newbie status is so constrictive. I can now see it was not helpful to do so.
You have just delivered a gift to our branch both genetically and genealogically. ?I wonder if this unfolding S6881 information you are unlocking would be of special interest to Dr. McDonald.?Chris will be able to inform us if there is any value to doing so.
I also wonder if there is value to having the folks that manage the Stewart and Leatham kits join our group. Another question for Chris. Since we also match them but I'm not sure how much they have tested beyond Y67. Can you find out for us? It appears that they are only Predicted M269.?
